ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court of Pakistan (SC) said on Tuesday that transgenders had equal rights as all citizens of Pakistan, Express News reported.

Completing proceedings in a case regarding transgender rights in the country, presided by Judge Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, SC issued a decision saying that transgenders should be given equal basic rights as all citizens.

The decision said that transgenders should be given equal inheritance and job opportunity rights, amongst others.

During the proceedings, transgenders had requested the court to direct the Town Municipal Administration to allow them to rent halls to celebrate birthdays.

The court has directed that the decision should be sent to all chief secretaries and that the latter were to attend to the complaints of the transgender community.

Well Done SC! Now direct the legislature to:
1) Register them completely at a special cell created for them with all their details
2) Give them a reasonable quota in jobs pertaining to Airlines, Railways, Media etc whichever job finds their passion and can best utilize a transgender
3) Even offer them to public at large for employments at residences with a minimum wage and ask the public to contact the specific cell for the said purpose
4) Their best suited jobs could be Hostesses, Confectionary/Kitchen works, makeup artists in media all under government control
5) Their quota in jobs should be extremelly relaxed viz-a-viz education as we all know what opportunities in education transgenders have had during our 65 years of history
I am sure once the government takes this initiative the private sector shall follow suit. This is how Nations build themselves by evolving the people from all walks of life and not by labelling them as “Less Privilleged” which ultimately forces them to go for criminal activities such as prostitution etc for a living!

Though Constitution of Pakistan grants equal rights to all its minorities including the transgenders but men with guns and long beards in Pakistan violate rights without any fear of the law and order machinery in the entire country with hardly accused getting convicted by the courts.

I hail Pakistan Supreme Court to make this kind of historical judgement.We should not forget that they are also human. They also deserve respect.They are born out of our blood.Then why shall we deceive them the advantages we enjoy.
